Pre-Buy Inspection
Know exactly what you're buying.

Airframe & Corrosion Check
Close inspection of the airframe for corrosion, damage history, and repairs — disclosed or otherwise.
Avionics & Equipment Review
Confirmation that installed avionics and equipment match the logbooks and are functioning as expected.

Common Questions
Pre-Buy Inspection FAQ
What does a pre-buy inspection actually cover?
The aircraft's mechanical condition, airframe, avionics and equipment, and a full review of its logbooks and maintenance records.
Who performs the inspection?
A qualified, independent inspector with no connection to the seller — we coordinate this specifically to protect your interests.
How long does it take?
It depends on the aircraft type and its history, but most inspections are completed within a few days.
What happens if the inspection finds a problem?
You get a clear report on what was found, and we help you decide whether to renegotiate, request repairs, or walk away.
Do I need this if the seller already has a recent inspection?
Yes — a seller-provided inspection isn't independent. A pre-buy inspection arranged on your behalf protects you specifically.
